Mine That Bird in news via co-owner's ex-wife's murder rap..
Co-owner Mark Allen's ex-wife charged in a murder case, but the nugget comes from inside the article courtesy of www.minethatbird.com... You can enter a contest to be 'jockey for a day' on him! Between this and Funny Cide Beer, there's a lesson: Don't be a Derby-winning gelding.
In February 2008, the estranged Thomas sued for divorce, a court battle that lasted two years, according to New Mexico court records. During that time, Allen's horse-racing investments made him even richer: In 2009, Mine That Bird, a 50-1 long shot, came from dead last to take the Kentucky Derby's $1.4 million winner's purse. The horse now has its own website, minethatbird.com, where, according to a publicity release, its "down-home cowboy owners" are offering contestants a chance to be a jockey for a day aboard the Derby winner. The horse is also the subject of a new series of graphic novels for kids and a soon-to-be animated movie.
